FRIDAY DEADLINE - NOVEMBER 17th For District Governor Nominations

 

Surely you know someone in your club or region that would make a great District Governor!

 

They have been in Rotary over 7 years and been a club President. This Friday is the deadline for submitting their application. I leave it to you, as an Awesome Rotarian, to speak with them about applying. (All paperwork and forms are listed on the District Website under the second story, Nominations)

 

And you, yes you, who fit the above criteria. We know you have the spark, drive and inclination to be a great District Governor. Where's your application?

 

This position in Rotary will broaden your horizons like you wouldn't believe. It's challenging, confidence building and rewarding all in one. The doors it opens in Rotary are endless.

 

I encourage all of you in our District to be on the look out for qualified Rotarians, even if you find them in the mirror!

 

Yours in Rotary Service,

 

Peggy Pollen, PDG 2012-2013

District 5010 Nomination Chair

News From DG Harry
 

I wanted to send out a quick note to all of 5010 Rotarians on a couple of issues. I will also include the info in the next news letter.

 

First, thank you for your tremendous support in our membership efforts. The figures came out yesterday and our District has recruited 34 new members since the first of July. That represents an almost 2% net gain for the Rotary Year. Your efforts have placed our District in the number 1 position out of 16 Districts in our Zone. Now is the time to plug in our afterburners and go even faster. If we can get 34 net new members in the first 4 months, we can get 68 net new members in the next 8 months which will enable us to exceed our goal of 5% net new members. Don't forget my offer of a District match ($$) on membership events. First City took  me up on the offer and had a very successful social (and new members)

 

Rotary Cares For Kids has become unbelievable . The efforts and support of all of you is humbling. Thank You on behalf of so many wonderful kids who deserve a better than the hand they were dealt.

 

Third, now is the time to submit proposals for the next RI Council on Legislation. If you have an idea please submit it to your club president. Club Presidents please submit your proposals to Jane Little and I not later than 15 December. Here is the guidelines and format.

To help you and your clubs prepare 

legislation, RI has updated the How to Propose Legislation course in Rotary’s 

Learning Center. The course can be 

found by going to My Rotary>Learning & Reference>Learning Center.

Thank All of You for being such incredible Rotarians
